Olympus VG-110 vs Panasonic S1H Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizing just by looking at specifications. The visual underneath will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the VG-110 and S1H.

Plainly, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The VG-110 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Panasonic S1H will give you more detail due to its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images far more aggressively. The older VG-110 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
